hey guys Eber here with Hardware Canucks and I'm back here to talk more about
processors from Intel and it's actually starting to becoming a weekly thing for
me but that's actually a good thing AMD's Ryzen CPUs lit some series fire
under Intel's butt and they quickly came up with a skylake X if you're
interested in the performance view you can check it out right over here
but today we're talking about coffee Lake I can have my coffee first I love
the taste of coffee every day in the morning that's what gets me up and
running but you know what I mean I guess there's that hidden joke I don't know I
really don't know coffee lake actually you might remember as making a
video on explaining Intel's upcoming a generation of CPUs on the ultrabooks and
the lower end desktops if you're interested in more information you can
check it out right over here now even though skylake x processors cost more
money than many of you can afford and the mobile low voltage coffee lake
processors are a few months away Intel's eighth generation coffee lake CPUs are
on their way to desktops very soon and next week stay tuned for our full
performance review of these new CPUs because I can't quite share that
information just yet but Intel did allow us to share some preliminary information
regarding these new chips so let's get started
cooler master master keys keyboard line-up is now available in three sizes
to fit within your space with large medium and small boards with either
beautiful RGB or pure white LED illumination a little something for
everyone make it yours with a master keys probe by Coolermaster looking at
the high-end coffee lake processors first the lineup is headlined by the
i7 8700K which is supposed to take over from the 7700K it is important to
remember that the actual differences between cable ache and coffee lake are
minimal from a core architecture standpoint but these newer CPUs use
Intel's 40 nanometer plus plus technology allowing them to hit higher
overall clock speeds and core counts without significantly increasing power
consumption or heat output this is why with the 8700K Intel is able to have
clock speeds up to 4.7 gigahertz 6 cores 12 threads and 12 megabytes of smart
cash while still having a TDP of chosen 95 watts that's pretty incredible what
isn't so incredible is the corner intel has placed himself and with pricing the
8700k will retail for about three hundred and sixty dollars which places
it right among eight core risin some processors and that could be an issue
for some productivity tasks it also makes me wonder what was the whole point
with Kaby lake x I mean looking from a raw performance standpoint coffee lake seems
to be a much better platform compared to Kaby Lake X and it's gonna be a lot less
expensive to so Intel what is really going on anyways back to the specs of 8th gen
the i7 8700 is basically the same processor but without and unlocked
multiplier lower clock speeds and a TDP of 65 watts I'm expecting we will see
this one in a lot of pre-built gaming systems like the i5 7600K it replaces
the new i5 8600K is really meant to be the value leader of this lineup it
offers high clock speeds and a native six core die so it should be much better
than cable akin performance I'm really excited to take a look at this one since
it actually costs more than the six core 12 thread Ryzen 5 1600x without offering
more processing threats well those higher frequencies win the
day for Intel again I'll find out soon where things get much less confusing is
in the lower end I five and I three product lineups since Intel has done a
pretty good job with limiting the number of processors they will be introducing I
would actually say the i5 8400 is probably the most interesting of the
entire coffee lake launch for people who don't care about overclocking it isn't
unlocked which is too bad but there are six cores and a turbo frequency of 4
gigahertz that 65 watt TDP could even make it a good fit for a mid-range HTPC
or small form-factor systems and intel has ensured it doesn't cost a dime more
than these 7400 the only major challenge could be once again with Andy's wives
and family since the 1500x cost the exact same amount of money it can be
overclocked and even offers aid processing threats
yex if you really want budget-minded overclocking from coffee lake things
stay really expensive guys it is only $15 less than the 8400 and has two less
threads but the i3 8350k is what you will need honestly I just don't
get intel strategy with the 8350k even the 7350k was a complete waste of money and
and just resources to be honest now if you look at the competition name DS
Ryzen 5 1400 might be a better choice compared to the cpu because it offers
eight processing threads and it seems to be a much popular choice among gamers
right now it really seems like Intel's launching these new CPUs without taking
a look at what's happening with Ryzen and I guess we'll have to see how all
DCP is stacked up with one another when we put them through our test bench
finally there's the i3 8100 and the massive $55 gap between this CPU and the
8350k seems to indicate Intel isn't done launching coffee lake processors
just yet but if you want a lower-cost quad core chip this might be a good fit
even though Intel still isn't offering all of their coffee lake processors and
unlocked their overclocking abilities have been drastically improved things
like perk or overclocking real time memory latency control and extended PLL
trim controls are all included and there's some expectation that clock
speeds will be able to reach well over 5 gigahertz for the K series part
unfortunately these overclocking features along with the enhanced power
delivery needs of coffee lake processors and their ability to run at consistent
26 66 megahertz memory speeds means that once again Intel is asking you to
purchase a new motherboard yeah I know guys this is getting very frustrating
and that excuse doesn't really add up especially when you consider the new z370
generation doesn't really offer any benefits over z270 all of the
platform's primary lanes comes from the processor itself and there are still 16
of them that much is rising but what z370 doesn't have is native support for
key technologies like USB 3.1 gen2 and nvme storage devices those can be added
through third-party controllers linked to the chipsets PCI 3.0 lanes but that
could cause slowdowns when compared to the direct access those devices have on
AMD's X370 and be 350 chipsets but what I can see is that motherboard venders
are coming out with some really strong looking Z370 boards for instance take a
look at this gigabytes or as gaming 7 and
it takes all of their lessons from z270 and improves upon it in every way
there is USB 3.1 gen2 connectors triple and two slots a high-end ESS saber audio
tag and terrible three I'll likely be using this board for a complete build in
the next few weeks sales day tuned for that but how does this all translate
into performance while Intel claims coffee lake will offer up to 32 percent
faster 4k video editing and 25% faster in game frame rates than cabling of
course some of those performance benefits comes from the additional
threats on the i7 8700K but it also sounds like DCPS should operate it
consistently higher clock speeds - and that means someone with an older Sandy
Bridge processor should really look into coffee lake maybe we'll let you know
more about the performance once coffee lake is officially launched on October
the 5th until then let us know if you're excited about these new processors from
Intel also if you're coming from an older Intel or AMD base system is coffee
lake or Z to be semi appealing or would you perhaps lean towards AMD which means
you know rise in the next 370 in the future let me know in the comments down
